Please ask the Alabama State Board of Education to reverse their decision to adopt the Common Core Standards!

What are Common Core Standards and why should you be concerned?

The Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI) establishes national minimum educational standards for students in our schools. The State Board of Education adopted the CCSSI in November, 2010.

Education has historically been the function of the local school district with some governance from the State Board of Education. Setting academic standards, writing curriculum and developing methods of instruction have always been handled within the state.

The move to national standards is the latest move to nationalize education and take the authority and oversight of local education away from parents and local school boards. The role of the federal government in our local schools should be limited; parents, teachers and schools boards should be in control.

“These initiatives transfer authority away from local school officials, increase federal power, and place even more strings on federal funding.” Rep. Martha Roby (R-AL)

Your calls are needed to the following members of the Alabama State Board of Education before Thursday, November 10!

Ask them to reverse their decision to adopt the Common Core Standards.

What are you waiting for?

Freedom. The blood of many a good man has been spilled for its sake. It is a prize to be sought out, fought for and — once procured — vigilantly guarded and protected at the cost of life and limb. Freedom is bought with pain and is kept through painful means. But it is a pain worth enduring. Yielding to the siren song of “comfort” inevitably leads to the surrender of freedom — and enslavement soon follows. We offer you a chance to resist … with all your might. Join us in the fight to defend freedom!
